I really thought I was smiling (convincingly) in these photos. Alas, my disdain for icy cold rain reads pretty clearly on my face. But with how hideously frigid it’s been the past week, I wish I could go back to cold rain. Sounds splendid.

On the bright side, I discovered this sweater looks a little more flattering with a vest (see it sans layers here).

Anywho, I hope you’re all staying warm and cozy while waiting in long lines at the Post Office. Happy almost Christmas!

I recently learned that any blogger who doesn’t do a cute fall outfit photo shoot in an apple orchardĀ  will be swiftly stripped of her domain name. Yup. Her Instagram account will be suspended too. In extreme cases, she will not be served PSLs at any Starbucks location. I just can’t take that risk, you guys. I love my square pictures and pumpkin spice.

OK, so it might have been all the other apple-picking bloggers that planted (pun intended) the idea in my head, but it is something that sounded like fun, and there happens to be an orchard about half an hour away from me. So last Saturday afternoon we headed to Tuttle Orchards to get our freakin’ fall on. The outfit photo-op was just a bonus.

As it turns out, there aren’t a ton of apples left on the trees this late in the season (in Indiana anyway), but we made out OK. We are not above grabbing a few good ones from the ground to fill up our bag. But note to self: next year, go earlier.
